		Mel Carnahan was a wonderful person, a real guy with the right priorities when it came to his life and family, all politics aside.

		Throughout Mel Carnahan's career, the heart and soul of the governor's political team was his beloved wife of 46 years, Jean, along with their four children: Randy (who, along with loyal adviser Chris Sifford, died with his father in the tragedy), Russ (a candidate for the Missouri House of Representatives), Tom and Robin.
